Sen. Eric Schmitt OBLITERATES Stephanopoulos’ Narrative in Epic Confrontation on Live TV

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) absolutely dismantled ABC’s fake news anchor George Stephanopoulos on live television.
The exchange erupted over President Trump’s newly announced full pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.
On November 28, 2025, President Trump announced he would grant a full and complete pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in U.S. court on drug-trafficking and firearms charges.
Hernández, extradited in 2022 and sentenced to 45 years in federal prison, has long argued that the Biden DOJ politically targeted him using the coerced testimony of cartel members tied to Honduras’s radical leftist Libre Party.
Hernández is now scheduled for immediate release.
Hernández himself issued a written statement from prison, which was exclusively obtained by The Gateway Pundit:
“I write to you from a federal penitentiary, unjustly serving a 45-year sentence, effectively a life sentence given my age. Just as you, President Trump, I have suffered political persecution, targeted by the Biden-Harris administration not for any wrongdoing, but for political reasons.
My wrongful conviction is based on the uncorroborated statements of convicted drug traffickers, one of whom even recorded a video exposing senior members of the Honduran radical left party, Libre, discussing bribes with traffickers, yet admitted during my rigged trial that they had no evidence to support their accusations against me, just “the word of a drug trafficker.”
